6). Assuming there is excess capacity available for the company due to which there will be no extra burden of fixed costs because fixed costs is already charged on regular orders.

Variable cost = Total cost - Fixed cost
Variable cost of goods sold = $486,720 - $142,272 = $344,448
Variable COGS per unit = $344,448 / 62400 units = $5.52 per unit

Variable period cost = $ 170,976 - $83,616 = $87,360
Variable period cost per unit = $87,360 / 62400 units = $1.4 per unit

Calculation of profit of special order:-
Selling Price = $11 per unit
Less: Var. COGS = $5.52 per unit
Less: Var. period cost = $1.4 per unit
Profit per unit = $4.08 per unit

Total profit for 4450 units = $4.08 * 4450 = $18,156

7). Variable COGS for special order = $5.52 - $0.78 = $4.74 per unit
Variable period cost for special order = $1.4 - ($17 * 3%) = $1.4 - $0.51 = $0.89 per unit

Calculation of profit of special order:-
Selling Price = $11 per unit
Less: Var. COGS = $4.74 per unit
Less: Var. period cost = $0.89 per unit
Profit per unit = $5.37 per unit

Total profit for 4450 units = $5.37 * 4,450 = $23,896.50
Change in profit due to above changes = $23,893.50 - $18,156= $5,740.50 (Increase in profit)

8). Loss of 950 units:
Profit fall due to loss of 950 units is = 950 * $4.08 = $3,876
